Warning: These Are Not 100 CaloriesI had a bad day today. In an effort to make a friend of mine feel better I made a batch of my famous brownies. Of course, if someone is sad I make food ... that is why I needed this challenge!
I thought I was going to be doing okay because I allowed myself to lick the spoon (I figured that was my 100 calories for the day) before I put it in the sink (after I was done mixing, I am not gross) and planned on saving the rest for my friend. I took them out of the oven, let them cool and was impressed at how strong I felt. As I arranged the brownies on the plate, however, there was one sad little guy who didn't fit ... I was really left with no choice. I had to take a snacking penalty.
What I do feel good about is that in the past when I have made these I am typically ravenous. I ate my one little brownie and was good. I think this diet is working and my life is really changing.
If anyone wants to make them I recommend waiting for cheat day. This is a recipe you won't find anywhere else ... these are my brownies:
2 Eggs
2/3 cup Unsifted flour
3/4 cup Sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1/4 teaspoon Baking powder
1/2 cup Butter or margarine; melted
1/4 teaspoon Salt
3/4 cup Ghirardelli ground chocolate
1/2 cup Ghiradelli semi-sweet chocolate chips
>>>secret ingredient>>>1 teaspoon Almond Oil
Mix everything together. Bake @ 350 for about 30 minutes.
Mmmm, they sound so good, Melissa. Thanks for sharing your recipe. I will have to give these a try (on my cheat day of course!).
